Mumbai, Aug 7: A local court here today extended the judicial custody of Pravin Mahajan, accused of killing his elder brother and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pramod Mahajan, to August 21.

Immediately after filing of the charge sheet last month, Pravin had moved a bail plea before Additional Sessions Judge Abhya Thipsay, which was rejected on August 1 on the ground that a prima facie case existed against the accused.

Pravin, who is at present lodged in a high-security cell of Arthur Road Jail, was arrested by the Worli police on April 22 for allegedly shooting Pramod Mahajan.
